  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and composer Yasin Sulaiman has been officially discharged from Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta in Perak after a treatment period of over four years. The 51-year-old, known for his hit song \"Mimpi Laila,\" reunited with his family today following clearance from authorities and the hospital. Zain Sulaiman, Yasin's brother, shared that the lengthy discharge process was due to numerous administrative procedures. The family, including Zain's wife, his 18-year-old daughter Malaika, and Yasin, set off early to collect him around 10am. Zain reassured fans that Yasin is in high spirits and good health, having prepared himself mentally and physically for the day. The musician's return to the music scene is expected, but the family's immediate focus is on helping him adjust to life outside the hospital, with regular medical monitoring and follow-up appointments continuing. During the drive home, Yasin expressed his contentment, saying he was \"full from the freedom\" of being discharged.",
